The National Assembly today (30th of April, 2018) published the Petroleum Industry Administration Bill, the Petroleum Industry Fiscal Bill and the Petroleum Host and Impacted Communities Development Bill.
The bills are slated for public hearing at the House of Representatives on the 15th – 17th of May 2018 and in the Senate on the 22nd – 24th of May 2018.
We shall provide highlights of the provisions of the bills shortly.
hello
the composition of the petroleum host and impacted community bill is still the colonial masters approach in favor of the companies and not the communities.
the host communities are supposed to have direct governance in the administrative structures of the trust otherwise the story will still be the same.
As far as the community is not seeing money, there will still be this host community problems here and there.
to mke the community a mere advisory committee and a non executive member of the committees will not help the impending matters.
